Decal Paper

I am doing a Mercury Cougar Trans Am race car. I can't buy the decals anyway so I thought that I could buy the decal paper from this hobbyshop because it is close to my house:

http://www.hobbyone.com.au/product.a...CLEAR-6-SHEETS

I wanted to know how good this paper is.

Can you rate from 1 to 5 - 1 the worst and 5 the best

Cany you help???

Re: Decal Paper

Most decal paper I've seen is exactly the same, and made in the same place in Florida. That includes paper from BMF and decalpaper.com. An exception is Papilio.com, good stuff but AFAIK they don't sell white film. Prices vary wildly; the source you are looking at is way out of line - even in Australian dollars, and probably even if you factor in shipping.

Avoid a South Korean paper called Sunny Scopa or similar.

I've had good results from decalpaper.com's paper, and their prices are reasonable. I suggest getting a combo pack of both clear and white decal sheets - most likely you will need both. After you print the decals, be sure to give them about five coats of Krylon Crystal Clear before dipping them in water. If you don't, the ink will run.
